What does Psalm 105:27 teach about God's power through His servants? The Verse in Focus Psalm 105:27: “They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.” Who “They” Were • Moses and Aaron—ordinary men chosen by God • Sent to confront Pharaoh and lead Israel out of bondage (Exodus 3:10; 4:14–16) What the Signs Prove about God’s Power • God Himself is the source of every miracle; His servants are instruments, not originators (Exodus 7:5) • The signs were public, undeniable acts that outmatched Egypt’s magicians (Exodus 8:18–19) • Each wonder dismantled a specific Egyptian deity, declaring the LORD alone is God (Exodus 12:12) • Miracles advanced God’s redemptive plan—freeing Israel so He could dwell with them (Exodus 19:4–6) Lessons for Today • God still chooses people to display His power, though the means and moments are His to decide (1 Corinthians 12:4–11) • Obedience positions a servant to be used; reluctance can be overcome by God’s enablement (Exodus 4:10–12) • The goal is always God’s glory, never personal fame (Isaiah 42:8; Acts 14:3) • Opposition does not nullify divine power; it often showcases it (2 Timothy 3:8–9) • God’s track record in Egypt assures believers that He remains able to act decisively in any era (Hebrews 13:8) Supporting Snapshots from Scripture • Exodus 7:10: “So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded.” • Mark 16:20: “And they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked through them, confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it.” • Acts 2:43: “A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.” Putting It into Practice • Trust the literal accounts of God’s past wonders; they reveal what He is capable of now. • Seek God’s direction, not your own agenda; His assignments come with His power. • Expect resistance, yet stand firm—God’s servants have always faced Pharaohs. • Celebrate every answered prayer and changed life as modern evidence that the God of Moses still works through His people today. |
